"The imagination and understanding of children are simply incredible; sometimes it even exceeds God’s."

Two brothers, aged 8 and 10, were always playing pranks and
getting into mischief. When things went wrong in town, at school, at fairs, and
at church, they were inevitably behind it.

Their parents were beside themselves
with anxiety. What if their children should "step over the line" and
get in trouble with the Law? They decided to send the boys to talk with the
pastor of the church, a Bible-thumping, God-fearing, pulpit-pounding Rock of
Ethics and Values.

The 8-year-old had the first appointment, walking the four
blocks from home to the church. When he stood across from the pastor's desk,
the pastor regarded him with a deep scowl, and after a minute said, "Young
man, where is God?" The boy remained silent. The pastor raised his voice.
"Young man, I said, where is God?"

Still the boy remained quiet, but his eyes widened, and he
swallowed nervously. The pastor leaned over his desk and yelled, "Young
man, I asked you a question!" "Now where is God?"

In terror the boy leaped from the room, ran home, vaulted up the
stairs to his bedroom, and hid behind his bed. The 10-year-old, hearing the
noise, ran into his younger brother's bedroom and found him shivering. "What
happened?" he said, starting to get scared himself.

"Oh, man, we're in deep trouble," said the 8-year-old.
"God's missing, and everyone thinks we did it."
